Expert on trauma and terrorism and is a board-certified psychiatrist and psychoanalyst
I wanted to offer psychiatrist Dr. Nina Cerfolio, a nationally recognized expert in trauma and terrorism. Dr. Nina has experienced terrorism first-hand, first as a volunteer in the Chechnyan war where she was poisoned; then as a first-responder at the World Trade Center during 9/11.
Dr. Nina Cerfolio MD, Assistant Clinical Professor of the Icahn School. Her soon to be released book, Psychoanalytic and Spiritual Perspectives on Terrorism: Desire for Destruction (published by Routledge in Dec. 2023), includes her team’s cutting edge new research and her extraordinary first-hand experiences of being a first responder that explores a more expansive understanding of the origins of terrorism while highlighting a spiritual path as a powerful antidote for healing from trauma.
